When you and your fiancé come from different
cultural backgrounds, planning your wedding
ceremony and celebration can seem challenging as
you, your loved one, and your families will all
have different ideas about what cultural aspects
should be included in your wedding.

Here in Toronto, where there is much diversity,
successful weddings require certified wedding

1. Retain the services of a wedding planner with
experience in multicultural weddings This is
a big life saver because your wedding planner
understands the complexities of putting together
this special type of wedding celebration and have
already helped other couples have a memorable
wedding.

2. Openly communicate with your families
Early on in the planning, arrange a time for
both sides of the family to sit down, along with
your wedding planner to discuss what traditions
they would like to see included in your wedding.

3. Remind your families it is YOUR special day
Along with the above tip, it is important to
let the families know you and your fiancé want to
make different cultural traditions a part of your
wedding and appreciate their input to help you
decide which ones you will include.

4. Choose a venue that accommodates and
celebrates multicultural weddings The
location where you get married is equally
important and should be open to multicultural
ceremonies and allow you the flexibility to
incorporate traditions from both cultures.

5. Use other events leading up to the wedding to
share your cultural backgrounds You do not
have to put every tradition into your wedding.
Some couples share their cultures with the
extended family and friends during bachelorette
and bachelor parties and the rehearsal dinner.

6. Customize your wedding ceremony Your
wedding planner can help you find officiants that
are willing to conduct a joint ceremony, allowing
you to honour religious, ethnic, and specific
cultural traditions you want to include.

7. Prepare family and friends for special dances
with dance classes If there are traditional
dances performed at weddings, schedule a dance
class or two where both sides of the family can
get together to teach the other side of the
family the dance.

8. Be creative with your wedding reception menu
Fusion cuisine is all the rage and it can be
fun fusing together traditional wedding foods and
creating new ones just for your reception.

and any behaviours that could be considered
inappropriate by your partners culture. Your
wedding planner can help you determine the best
ways to do this, such as using social media,
email, or including details about traditions in
wedding announcements, and so on.
